Maudslay State Park

Highlight • Forest

Maudslay State Park features 19th-century gardens, rolling meadows, towering pines, and one of the largest naturally occurring stands of mountain laurel in the state. It’s an ideal spot for walking, biking, or picnicking - the trails, however, within the park are mostly for hiking. The park also features educational programs during the summer months. It is open from sunrise to sunset, with daily year-round.

Bootlegger's Field

Highlight • Forest

Bootlegger's Field is situated where the Merrimack River loops around the northern end of the Maudslay State Park. It's a great place for a spot of birdwatching. Keep an eye out for bald eagles, which roost in the park.

Flowering Pond

Highlight • Lake

The pond is labeled on the DCR map but I was surprised it had a name. I walked right by it without even realizing it. Maudslay is one of the state parks that's a former estate like nearby Willowdale or further away Borderland. It's got some prime stretch of the Merrimac as a neighbor and makes for a lovely place to walk

Merrimack River Trail

Highlight • Trail

A superb little trail to run alongside the Merrimack River. Nature abounds in the warmer months, making this a vibrant place to explore at speed. The park's rolling meadows and woodland are an absolute delight.
